wil4hire - water reflects light to make the rainbow effect, not refract.
Boink, its also because Bill Gates is a genius at marketing.
I could understand if this was funny, but trying to get a guy with a voice like the cat Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch just isnt funny at all. Anyone else notice this? (This may traumatize small children, just kidding) :)
Really? "Blu-ray also has a technological edge over HD-DVD in many ways." Name 1 other then disc space, which is apparently a "technological" advantage.
Edit: bootsielon- this doesnt call for name calling. And adding more space isnt technology. It doesnt change how the core technology works. Even so, 51GB HD DVD's have been approved, so that should be null and void. And to bring up your point of 'Seriously, how many times do you watch "extra content&quo...
Hey, stop being a jerk. I have the 360 version and take care of my 360. Never RROD'd or anything. But i have had frame rate issues. All i had to do was exit the world to the animus and re-enter and i was perfect. Your post makes it seem like that would be my fault.
People always said that when HD DVD did something like this that it was desperation...so whats up? Both sides are trying to win, so next time HD DVD does something, dont say its desperation, because blu ray is now giving away 15 free movies.
BTW, from the looks of it at the end of this war well be getting 5 dollar high def movies, no matter who wins.
Just get both, why not? But you know what i want? REAL TIME REFLECTIONS DAMMIT!
Heres an example. Mass Effect.
Edit: Btw you know your computer, the thing you type useless crap on? It uses the intel 8086 instruction set as well. So i guess every single PC in the world is out of date with a crappy processor that has had to make compromises (it doesnt matter what processor you have AMD uses the intel 8086 instruction set aswell).
Um, you just offended both blu-ray and HD DVD by calling HD DVD "DVD 1.5". Both are based on the same technology...a blue laser. HD DVD just chose to offer less space so that its cheaper to make, other then that they are completely identical. Why do you think dual players are so easy to make?
Unlimited - yes they sound like a "xbots". When you have a firm grasp of how to put a sentence together then people will take your comments more seriously. Sony definitely has more studios, but who has the bigger studios.
NBC is HD DVD exclusive, if you didnt know that includes the TV and movie studios (Universal). But, who owns them? General Electric, also known as either the biggest or second biggest corporation in the world. Them tied in with Microsoft, who do you...
Way to list games that arent out. And its weird to see only blu-ray fanboys here. This is getting to be like Apple fanboys. They go and trash talk windows, but the windows users could care less. Its not like trash talking is going to make what you support more adopted.
Reply to below: You really dont want me to list all of the 360 games i have and am going to buy, youre just going to disagree anyways so why bother. Also i really only like Transformers, Hot Fuzz, and 300 on HD ...
rofldings - I can tell you don't know what you're talking about because you've probably never seen anything run at 60fps nor 30fps outside of a game. Movies are 24 fps not 30 nor 60. Also depending on whether you're in an NTSC region or PAL region is 29.97 or 25 fps respectively.
Also, define pure HD, as 1080p is not the pinnacle of high definition.
Also Also, where are your sources for 720p and 1080i being created because 1080p takes up too much bandwidth? I kn...
Destructible environments would be nice too.
And the award for the stupidest comment ive ever read goes to...Ashta..stand up and take a bow.
"I can understand the more expensive Blu-Ray price because it actually supports uncompressed high-def digital audio and will produce a much clearer picture than HD-DVD."
Yes, Blu-ray's 1080p resolution looks so much better then HD DVD's 1080p resolution, way to go. From what ive seen on blu-ray there are unexplained pink blocks in the middle of a blu-ray movi...
Assuming you want both of those...I could care less about a mouse and keyboard...and in all honestly mods really havent made my gaming life any better. But im sure it will be nice for you.
gololo - Ive never played counterstrike. PC games arent for me, the controls just dont seem logical. Controllers feel more like a gun.
Ok correct me if im wrong here. The PS3 has 2 sticks of ram, 256mb each. One is dedicated to the GPU is it not? And people say that in the PS3 model of game programming you should use the CELL as the GPU. Wouldnt this cut out 256mb of ram?
Btw, its not like anything of what any of you guys say matters. Developers are clearly doing good stuff with it, look at Killzone 2.
Really? Explain why my year and a half old 360 hasnt RROD'd when i have the HD DVD add on directly ontop of it?
lol ya...well we all know that whoever drops Back to the Future first will inevitably win!
Edit: Never mind, i just researched and found that Universal did Back to the Future, so ill get flamed by blu-ray fanboys :S.
Im going to go watch my transformers...enjoy. What kind of idiot are you. The cheaper players are going to sell. As already pointed out most people dont have 1080p tv's. Nor do they care that much, 1080i looks fine, the only differents is the mode of transport/refresh rate. Same resolution (for those who didnt know).
mighty_douche - maybe your getting disagrees because youre being, well, a douche. Why would you need another 3.5GB of ram? Windows Vista never goes above using 1GB. When I played Crysis on my computer, it still didnt. If you would like proof of this, here is someone with 4GB of ram where Crysis is only using about 850MB:
